advice which deserved u better fate
than it received. Jf those strikers who
hip yet idle are wise, they will act
upon this advice by mulclng early ar
rangements to leturn to work. Hold

cerned; and the men on strike, to
whom no hope of final victory appears,
and who, at the most, can expect only
such minor concessions as the com
pany Is maKiuininious enough to offer,
have lost enough. It is easy for men
who have not gone through what they

An Intolerable Situation.
T
H13 rmjLICATIOX of the
correspondence between Gen
eral lilies, the secretary of
vi'siruud the president relative
to the first's request to he empowered
to have full jurisdiction over the Phil
ippines for that is what the request
amounts to cannot harm the adminis
tration, although there seems to he
icason to believe that such was the
effect intended; but It leaves Genet al
lilies in a position of self-created hu
miliation, and must inevitably lead to
his early retirement fiom a position
In which he Is plainly so far out of
of reckoning comes for Hie Hrlllslt em
pire." It Is almost milk-lent to say that
when that day comes, the American
government, If fuelliiR Its wolfate men
aced, will no doubt find u way to meet
It. llttt It Is worth noting, In addition,
that nothing in the furnishing of Hoops
by Canada to (Ircat Uiilalu Increases
'the previously existing risk of the In
vasion of Canada by an army opposed
to Kiiglimd, On the contrary, It re
duces the probability of such Invasion
by the extent of tlio military training
It gives to the Canadian quota of colo
nial tioops. The Monroe doctrine. It
Is wise to recall, applied to foreign
eolonb.lng on this hemisphere not al
ready in effect at the time that the doc
trine was proclaimed. Since then
Spain has been eliminated and only
nreitt Hrltnln remains. What the at
titude of the Cnlted States would be
In case a. foreign foe of JCngland were
to tnre.iten an invasion of Canada we
do not know. Presumably it would
lie one of protest If the Invasion prom
ised to become permanent. Hut how
under any accented rule of Interna
tional law or custom we could expect
to limit the hostile ucts of an antagon
ist of a foreign power so long as they
should not affect us, Is more than we
can Imagine. Kqually Injposslble
would It be for the government at
Washington to undertake to limit the
urea in Hiltluli lenltory in which the
government of bis JJritlsh majesty
might iccrult for soldiers to light
Great Iliitalu's battles. There could
be but one way of enforcing such u
limitation. AW doubt It the most bel
ligerent of Knglund's American ene
mies would regard the end as worth a
war.
As the years pass. It Is becoming ap
parent thai the Monroe doctilnc was
more durable In principle than In let
ter. It applied literally to a condition
long i-lnre vanished; to a period In the
republic's giowth when It seemed that
Its none too certain future might be
mad" miserable by the Juxtaposition of
undesirable neighbors. This state of
things does not exist today. The le
puhllc, then feeble and derided, is l e
cognlzed now as one of the first, ir not
the first, power In the world. The
fear today Is not that foreigners may
encroach upon us, but that, In trade,
at least, we may encroach upon them.
All that Ik left of vitality In the Wun
rop doctrine is its animating Insistence
upon the right of the American peo
ple to order their own destiny. We do
not doubt that this doctrine now has
all the force of codified law.
eludes Instructions tbot periodical
medical examination and certification
of Immoral women must bo suspended,
The only exception Is that notorious
resorts shall be. blore severely policed
and quarantined while Infected In
mates are to bo obliged to go at once
tti the hospital. Theories nccessailly
have to give way lo conditions In such
matters; but If the proper support
shall be given by the fathers nml moth
ers of America to the religious Influ
ences which try to help the army 'olll
eers to provide wholesome recreation
for the enlisted men, It Is reasonable
to believe that vice can lie noticeably
diminished If not wholly extirpated.
Thete Is a growing sentiment that
the penalties provided for the punish
ment of the firebug are scarcely severe
enough to lit the ciiine. As a rule, the
incendiary is little belter than thu
murderer, and In some instances the
lcsults of his misdeeds ate more disas
trous and far-reaching. Tlieie Is a
good opportunity for legislative atten
tion to this evil Just at present.

that President Iladley of Yale has in

We hear little of the sufferings or
Porto lllco these days. The govern
ment critics have evidently concluded
that the Island is altogether too pros
perous to be further consldeied as it
location of calamity.
EDUCATIONAL. EJDUOATIONAL..
S Swarthmore College
While the population of the United
Slates Increases at the rate of a million
a year, the Increase in wealth Is at the
wondrous rate of ?2,no0,000,000 -a year, n
rate unexampled In human history.
Where will It end?
sympathy with bis immediate superiors
as to be of little value to the army, to
' -them ,or to himself.
The self-assurance of the general's
request Is enough to stagger a stone
image. Notwithstanding the high
"haracter of service, both civil and
nllltaty, which the country lias had
n the Philippines fiom the moment of
heir occupation to the present time,
tind wholly regardless of the tupid pro
;re.ss made toward pacification and de
velopment, tije sublime idea comes to
Nelson A. Miles that he alone is quali
fied to "restore, as far as possible, con
fidence to the people of these islands
and demonstrate that the purpose of
our government is prompted by the
high sense of justice." A moie inas
siviMiiece, of presumption without foun
dation in similar results achieved else
where has not been revealed In Ameri
can annals. The Intimation that "can
did, frank and honest consultation and
counsel" between natives and the rep
tesentatlves of this government could
not be secured under men like Chaffee
and Judge Tnft without putting over
them with paramount power .1 military
dictator in the person of Lieutenant
General Miles is almost as bad. Wlieie
can such vanity end'.'
But even though the plan proposed
by General Miles had In it sufllcient In
tiinslc merit to warrant its careful
consideration, the necessity for alter
ing existing pians nnu policies in the
Philippines did not exist at the time
that the proposition was made and
does not exist today. As to the gener
al's imputation on tlio character of the
military service In the Philippines, the
rebuke administered by the secretary
of war is mild in comparison with what
it calls for. The whole incident, taken
in connection with others of Us kind
in which General Miles has flguied, ex
blblts him In the light of a marplot
and a menace to good military discip
line. Jf after the publication of tills
correspondence Piesldeut ltoosevelt
shall pot terminate Miles' ofllcial op.
portunities for hectoring his superiors
111 responsibility as well as sotting u
Vicious example before the army, he
will be derelict in a plain duly. The
active- military carers- of Nelson a.
Mlles-jdiould be ended at once,
It Is leported that William K. Van
derbilt Intends to become the actual
and active president of all the Vander
bllt railroads, in order that theio may
be no mistakes in the eatrying out of
his policies. The report is ptobnbly
enoneous. The limitations of human
nature apply even to millionaires.
Mar.vland objectors to the "Fuller
deal" for control of the Western Mary

If precedent counts for anything; for It

he gets.

Clean Living in the Army.
rCIl complaint lias been
voiced by resolutions of
minlstetlal associations
and correspondence of men
of fine moral fibre because the army
authorities In the Philippines have to
some extent Intioduccd the custom of
licensing sexual vice. To what extent
this has been done is In dispute; but
It is admitted that in some degree
compulsory niedlc.il examination and
certification of public women have been
established as a sanitary measure for
tho protection of the army. That the
question of safeguarding- large numbers
of soldiers is a difficult and peiplexlng
one at best was shown dining the early
days of the late war in the camps of
conceiurnuou. Aiinougn these were
situated in the Pulled States, amidst
the testr.ilnlng iniluences of nearness
to home, vice captured many victims.
In the ttoplcs the problem Is tenfold
more complex and the system employed
In the Philippines represents the most
careful judgment of the army medical
authorities on the spot.
But Secietary Boot, In a general or
der just Issued by direction of the
president, takes the position that this
Is not enough. "The only really ef
ficient way in which to contiol the dis
eases due to immorality," the order
says, "is to diminish thu vice which Is
the cause or these diseases, ft Is the
duty of icglinental, and particularly of
company oillcers to try by precept and
example to point out to the men under
their control, and particularly to the
younger men, the Inevitable misery and
disaster which follow upon Intemper
ance and upon moral uncle.uillness and
vicious living. The ofllcets should, of
course, remember always that the ef
fect of what they say must largely
depend upon the lives they themselves
lead. It is In the highest degree neces
sary that each ofllcer should be an ex
ample to his men In the way of tem
perate ami cleanly living. lie should
point out to men, using the utmost
tact, dlhcietlon, and good sense, that
disease Is almost sure to follow licen
tious living, that It Is never u trivial
alfalr, and that It Is worse than folly
to believe that such indulgence Is nec
essary to health.
"The oillcers should strive to teach
their men self-control, to show them
that morality and ofllclency In the life
of u soldier, as In civil life, go hand in
hand, idleness during the houis when
there 111 e nu military duties to perform
and the lack of healthful amusement
and occupation are piovocutlve of de
bauchery. Oillcers should do all In
their power to encourage healthy ex
ercise and physical recreation, as well
us to supply opportunities for cleanly
pocial and Inteiesting mental occupa
tions among the men. Thu young men.
especially many who have been but
recently taken away front the re
stwilnts and Iniluences of linjne, should
ue vuvuurugt'u 10 iook to llielr super
iors, both commissioned and uou-com-mlssloned
oflicers, and especially to
the company, troop and battery ufllccrs
for leadership and support amid tho
temptations atouud them. Every ef.
fort should bo made to promote
throughout tho at my a cleanly and
moral tono In word no less than In
deed. As a nation we feel keun pride
lit the valor, discipline and steadfast
endurance of our soldiers, and hand In
hand with these qualities must go the
virtues of self-restraint, self-respect
and self-control."
The order does not atop here, it lu
lu London, accoiding to a census just
completed, tlieie are a quarter of a
million more women than men. This
increases the reasons why British
inairjing of American heiresses should
stop.
The fear of the Liverpool chamber of
eommeice that American reciprocity
with Cuba will lessen Biitlsh trade un
doubtedly rests on a substantial foun
dation. A reduction of the Philippine foices
to 2,-,000 men will soon take place, in
spite of the Democratic theory that
pacification is making no progress.
It is to be hoped that Cuba llbre will
ma ue construed to mean Cuban
cense.
